90-minute Netflix outage affects streaming service worldwide
Netflix streaming outage has subscribers outraged
Netflix was down worldwide for about 90 minutes on Monday night, according to a lot of angry customers who weren’t able to stream movies and TV shows.
The rare Netflix outage began at 6:19pm ET on Monday, November 11, according to Down Detector. Backing up the thousands of user-reported disconnects, the official Is Netflix down help page confirmed that “You may have problems streaming titles on a computer.” That messaging still exists, as Netflix services come back online.
Netflix customers, paying as much as $22.99 a month for the service, weren’t able to stream from their TVs or laptops. However, a few users could access Netflix on a smartphone without interruption. It seems as if the set-top-box and -web-based methods of watching Netflix were down, but the app was still functioning.
The Netflix outage became a worldwide problem, according to X users who reported it being down in the UK and South America, suggesting the downtime wasn’t isolated to North America.
Is the Netflix outage over?
The 90-minute Netflix outage appears to be over for most customers. But during that time, we were able to report that it wasn’t your television or internet connection that was the problem. This was all on Netflix.
We also noted in our original reporting that other services like Disney+, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Max, and Apple TV+ remained up and streaming without issues.
We’ll continue to monitor whether or not Netflix is back globally for everyone. After all, that new Martha Stewart documentary deserves to be finished.
